Teachshef Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 It DOES specify the parks in which dogs MUST be restrained by a leash. The list includes Endcliffe Park. Does it say it at the entrances of the listed parks? Or is it just this document that was written in 66? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peak4 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) Not bam then from public parks - just ban them running free in public parks. Does it say it at the entrances of the listed parks? Or is it just this document that was written in 66? I'm not there at the moment, and Google Street View's resolution isn't that good when it comes to zooming in on signs from the road, , but make of this what you will. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3677958,-1.5103917,3a,15y,47.41h,79.19t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1smoELkCJeYJUxqwHA6Bg7Zg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en To be fair, I think there are other entrances without signs. p.s. I should say I'm not anti dog at all, and actually do like them. Given a slightly different lifestyle, I'd probably have one myself.

RootsBooster Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Bad parenting A duck for example will always feign injury, usually a broken wing, to distract any threat. It's the circle of life I think you've mistaken ducks for footballers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eater Sundae Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The sign says... Dogs MUST be under control at all times NO dogs in the playground areas Dogs MUST be on a lead in the cafe area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachshef Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The sign says... Dogs MUST be under control at all times NO dogs in the playground areas Dogs MUST be on a lead in the cafe area Thanks for confirming as I thought it said that. So dogs don't have to be on a lead as long as they are kept under control. I'm not an selfish idiotic owner after all then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POLSKI Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Probably not very popular but what more could the owner do than stand and shout once the dog was in the pond? He / She could have waded out and got their dog back. Seeing as its only about two feet deep in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenKatie Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I think anyone who knows their dog isn't 100% obedient to a command (and let's face it, that's the vast majority of dogs) should keep it on a lead around any kind of wildlife or farmlife. I also get so annoyed by seeing people walking ill-trained dogs off-lead in the peak district, around ground nesting birds, despite the fact that there are signs everywhere asking people to put them on a lead. About a month ago, I watched a guy running with two dogs near Higger Tor - one of them was completely and utterly out of control, to the point that it ran out of sight and then got completely confused about where it actually was.

When I was last out at Stanage (my dog was on the lead despite her always sticking to paths and not being a chaser - she's a laid back Collie!) I was speaking to a conservationist and apparently it's illegal to have your dog off the lead when ground birds are nesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calahonda Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I recall letting my dogs off the lead on a bit of moorland that I knew had no stock in it. A gob on stick walked up to me and started to shout the odds about nesting birds, when I reminded him that it was November he hadn’t got a clue what I was talking about.

On a Public Right of Way, you must have your dog under control (and on the path). On Peak District Open Access Land, you must have your dog always under control but on a short lead between March 1 and July 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
